Ingredients:  
4 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons dry ranch or Italian salad dressing mix
1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Directions:
Directions:
On a clean work surface, halve each chicken breast horizontally (parallel to work surface) to make 8 (4-ounce) cutlets. For marinade, combine olive oil and dressing mix in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Add chicken; seal bag and turn to coat completely. Chill at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.

Meanwhile, for the tomato salad, combine tomatoes, shallot, lemon juice, vinegar, basil, garlic, capers, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Let stand at room temperature up to 1 hour before serving.

Preheat outdoor grill to medium heat 350 to 375 degrees. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.

Oil grill grates. Arrange chicken on grill. Cook, covered, turning halfway through, until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken registers 165 degrees F, 8-10 minutes. Place chicken on a platter and let rest 5-10 minutes. Then top with tomato salad as well as fresh parmesan cheese curls and lemon wedges.

Great summer entertaining recipe, especially when tomatoes are in season. I serve it with a light pasta and a large salad.
